The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 211 The Lion of Twilight

The next morning.

When Chen Jing heard the knock on the door, he was still having breakfast in the restaurant.

The breakfast is not rich.

Just plain noodles with fried eggs.

The alkaline water noodles that have been frozen in the refrigerator are cooked and put into a jade-like porcelain bowl. After a few simple stirs, they are covered with oily and spicy sauce, and served with soft-boiled eggs from time to time. Liquid... What you eat is spicy and delicious!

Chen Jing remembered that he hadn't eaten like this for a long time.

Grandma used to make it for him.

Later, I did it myself.

After that... When he stepped into the workplace and started working, he almost always had his breakfast outside, even on days off, he ordered takeaway at home.

But with his temperament of getting up at noon, what he ate was not breakfast.

"This vice president is quite good at picking a time to come to the door..."

With half a bowl of unfinished noodles in his hand, Chen Jing only wondered whether the members of the [Ether Association] were as unreliable as Li Mobai.

"Anyway, come back after I finish eating..."

Say it.

Chen Jing wiped out the noodles in the bowl with three strokes.

Before he got up to take the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, Qiao Youning hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Give it to me! I'll take it to wash! You go to business first!"

"Thank you." Chen Jing raised his hand to take the tissue from Qiao Youning and wiped his mouth. Looking at the generous Qiao Youning, he couldn't help sighing, "You really have become different from before..."

"Huh? Is there?" Qiao Youning just walked to the kitchen door, she couldn't help but stop and look back, but she only saw Chen Jing's back.

now.

Chen Jing has already opened the door of the old house.

An old man stood outside the door.

He was like a heavy and silent black mountain, his burly figure almost blocked the door frame, and a suffocating sense of oppression came over his face.

Sunlight seeping in through the edge of the door frame.

Chen Jing could barely see the old man's face clearly.

Judging from the age spots all over his face, he should be older than the old man, at least in his 80s.

The dull skin is loose and weak, and the corners of the eyes are drooping lifelessly, like an old man who is dying. The whole person exudes an extremely strong breath of death, but the extreme contrast is...

It is such an old man who is about to go out like a candle in the wind, but has a burly and fearsome body, with extremely bulging muscles protruding a terrifying curve under the casual suit.

He is like an old lion living on the grassland.

Even if the eyelids can only be half-opened, the thick eyebrows and pale beard still remain open.

"Chen Jing?" The old man said suddenly, his deep and majestic voice sounded like a muffled thunder, and his tone sounded a bit puzzled, as if he couldn't believe that this seemingly frail young man in front of him... was the legendary "Sequence 2 Old Descendant".

Compared with Raphael, who is known as the Son of Moonlight, he is really far behind.

"Vice president?"

Chen Jing didn't feel intimidated by the old man's aura, and there was no tension in those clear eyes, but only a kind of curiosity like a child.

At this moment, Chen Jing can be sure that this old man is not a candidate, because Chen Jing can't feel the slightest breath of old descendants in him, and he is not even the most basic transcendent... Yes, he is just a human being.

Ordinary human beings.

But his aura was stronger than Chen Jing had ever seen before.

The old man seemed to be a vicissitudes of life lion standing outside the door, his eyes with drooping eyelids looked down at Chen Jing from a high position, and there was a scrutinizing gaze in the cloudy eyes.

"Why does this person look familiar..." Chen Jing murmured in his heart, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he really felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere before!

at this time.

Bai Aji, who was resting in the yard, still looked so leisurely, but occasionally looked back at the old house... From its performance, it can be seen that it didn't take the old man seriously at all, and it didn't feel that the old man could threaten To Chen Jing.

The gap between ordinary humans and the old descendants is like a natural moat.

That is impossible to overcome no matter what.

"You have grown up."

The old man suddenly raised his hand towards Chen Jing, as if he wanted to touch the young man's head, but it was obvious that Chen Jing was a very vigilant person, and he didn't like this kind of intimacy with strangers .

So when the old man stretched out his hand, Chen Jing took a step back calmly, but still had a smile on his face.

"Listen to Li Mobai, do you know my grandfather?"

"Don't let me go in and sit down?" the old man asked.

Hearing this, Chen Jing hurriedly moved out of the way, with a bit ashamed expression on his face.

"I'm sorry..."

The old man smiled, didn't say much, raised his foot, stepped over the threshold, and walked into the old house that he hadn't set foot in for many years.

"When I saw you for the first time, you were just a baby in swaddling clothes. When I saw you for the second time, you were already four years old..."

Speaking of which, the old man slowly sat on the sofa, his burly body almost sank into it, and the smile on his face was full of memories.

"I was young at that time, so I don't remember you." Chen Jing sat on the sofa beside the old man, and quietly glanced left and right, trying to find something that could be used to greet guests.

But after looking around, I only found small snacks piled in the fruit basket.

It's full of spicy konjac fish, what are you doing...

"You're welcome." Chen Jing pushed the fruit basket in front of the old man.

The old man remained silent without saying a word, but the corners of his eyes obviously twitched twice.

"You are just like your grandfather." Looking at the various snacks in the fruit basket in front of him, the old man couldn't help sighing, "You don't seem to know how to treat guests."

"I don't usually have guests at home." Chen Jing touched his nose in embarrassment, trying his best to search for the memory of this old man in his mind.

Recall carefully.

Chen Jing accidentally discovered that he really had a vague memory when he was a child, and he could match up with what the old man said.

That was when he was very young.

Can't remember which day it was.

In the courtyard of the old house.

Suddenly, a burly old man appeared like a blind bear.

"I have read all your information."

The old man stared at Chen Jing intently, as if trying to find something out of this face, his voice was still low.

"It is said that three years old is younger than seven years old. Your growth trajectory is the same as I expected, but it is a little different."

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Jing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. He couldn't help but picked up a pack of snacks, carefully tore open a hole, poured out the alcoholic peanuts inside, and put them into his mouth one by one deliver.

"Why is it different?" Chen Jing asked.

"Reticent, shy, and unsociable, he is exactly the same as your grandfather when he was young... But now, it seems that I have misjudged him."

As soon as the words fell, the old man suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand to Chen Jing.

"Let's get to know each other again... My name is Huangfu Huaisui."

The old man's rough palms were full of calluses. When Chen Jing shook hands with him, he felt that he was holding a dead tree branch.

"Currently serving as the vice president of the [Ether Association], and one of the main persons in charge of the Antarctic scientific research project jointly initiated with the 'Wood Private Consortium'."
